tlf works out the time difference from the ctydb.dat file. See tlf.doc.
I do not yet take care of summertime shift etc..

OK, I will make a parameter for it so you can choose with logcfg.dat.

This one is easy, and it makes sense... when you don't know the call you
don't need the exchange... will be changed. -> wishlist

Now that the qso's are also in RAM (from version 0.6), I can implement it...
I will put it on the wish list.

I will look for a nice color combination... -> wishlist

version 0.6 now also has the last 100 spots in RAM, so this one should be
easy.. -> wishlist

This one is more difficult, as it will be different per contest (score
calculation etc) . Could be done for cqww of wpx...

TLF logfile is TRlog compatible, so it will be accepted.
The summary file has to be written with an editor for the moment. Generation
of a summary file is low on the priority list at the moment. You could write
a template for me to put on the website :-)
